I dunno, do we actually need an "offical big zope 3 release"

No. What's more, we don't even want to use one anymore.
cool :-)
My only slight concern here is when people make changes in one
satellite project, they break another one and don't realise. But I
guess the buildbot should catch that, right?
i talked with jim about this and we agreed in that specifying
versions in eggs is not a good idea. The best way imho is to use
buildout's 'version' section in your application's buildout to nail
down all eggs to a specific version.
- -1; a "meta" egg would work fine as a place to specify hard-wired
dependencies. Not every Zope3 user is going to be using buildout.
Note that such a "mega-egg" would likely specify the "transitive
closure" of its dependency graph, as well.
Whether such a mega-egg is called an "official Zope release" is a
different issue, but that would be one way to let folks download a
"known good" integration (a distribution?) of the various satellite
projects.
A meta egg is another alternative.
Note that for individual applications that *do* use buildout, it is
often more convenient to use buildout versions rather than meta-egg
dependencies.
+1 for avoiding gratuitous version-specific dependencies in "library"
eggs; unless there is a known incompatibility, eggs should specify
their dependencies by name.
Or often with a minimum version.
